1990 Sierra C1500 Tires

[Bridgerat]

Installed a rough country 2” lift to my 1990 C1500. It came stock with 235/75-15s. I want to buy new rims and tires. Definitely want a quiet all season tread. I’m looking for ideas/advice on what larger size tires will fit now. Originally, I wanted to stick with 15” steel black D holes and 285/70-15s.
Finding out that size isn’t too common anymore.
Looking at 16” & 17” now. Don’t want to go larger than 17” because I like the old school look of big sidewall.
Any help would be appreciated.

A 265/70/16 is aboot a 31”, they fit ona stock truck but should look ok on a slightly lifted one…

Thanks for the reply.
I ended up going with 275/70 16s.
Yokohama Geos all season tread.
16x8 rims with a -12 offset.
It fits the look I was going for and they drive like a dream.
Just gotta paint the rear drums black.
